Does anyone have a used (or new) Windtronic 2 for sale? I have a few other anememeters, but I'd love to replace this one if available.
Thanx in Advanx 
Hello, Cecil,
This meter is no longer being made and can't be obtained from O/S ( I tried some years ago when mine began giving trouble).
I changed to a Skywatch Meteos Anemo shown here: www.instrumentchoice.com.au/collections/handheld-anemometers. You will see that there are 3 models available in this configuration and they offer slightly different info and features. The setup for average windspeed is a bit slow. Output in knots is easy
The meter is bulkier than the Windtronic but essentially gives the same info, plus, it also shows the wind chill (which may not be required in WA, so perhaps the Eole model is better there).
Overall, I found it to be a good replacement for the Windtronic.
Hope this helps.
Many thanks WindmanV,
Your post substantiated why I couldn't find a replacement Windtronics 2 anywhere on the globe... and, even better, you've given me a great alternative with the Skywatch Meteos Anemo. It looks perfect; I'll be adding one to my quiver as a belated Christmas pressie. As you noted, I probably don't need the wind chill feature over here in WA but I know of what you speak as I sailed Port Philip Bay and surrounds for a couple of decades, before spending a lot of time in the waves on Maui and then found a more perfect spot: WA, where you can find me sailing at different breaks up and down the massive coastline on this side of the Nullarbor. The Skywatch will help me choose the right rig. Thanks heaps.
It's sold under different names, seems to be sharing the "Keindl electronic" logo though. Mine is called Windmaster 2 and is still being sold in Europe.
Thanks ptsf1111... however, I searched the web high and low, and still came up empty... so I've ordered another, slightly different anomometer.Once received (5 to 10 days), I'll post my critique here on this thread for anyone who might be interested.Cheers, Mark/Cecil
Success! Thanks to everyone on this thread. I have found the perfect anemometer replacement for my old Windtronic 2.
It is the: Infurider YF-876 Digital Anemometer Wind Speed Meter
It is very similar to the Windtronic 2... in fact it probably uses the same internal chip as the LCD readout is the same.I purchased it from Gossips.com for US$110 (freight included).
In comparing it with the old Windtronic 2, the Infurider's wind reading is within 0.1 knots.All good...now I just need some wind so I can rig up and abuse my body some more... either windsurfing or winging.
I'd include a photo, comparing the two, but for some reason I can't seem to paste a jpeg image onto this posting. However, here's a link below that shows an image... and it's on sale for a ridiculously low amount of $19.59 (which I find it hard to believe)... but hey... maybe it is right?

Thanks Cecil,
I (and others, I,m sure) would be very interested in your thoughts on the new meter.
In passing, I found a meter called a Wind Boss, as shown here: gunsails.com/en/anemometer?srsltid=AfmBOopOOK9InPrDZyfW0h945jW7iIFL1WOYBpecwW9zexfylFBswyy_. It looks very similar in output to your new meter.
Hi WindmanV... It was a coin toss for me... whether to go with the Wind Boss vs Infurider. In the end, I chose the latter as the readout was exactly like my original Windtronic 2... so that's what I went with... and it works just fine (apart from me paying faaaaaar too much for it, so shop around).Thanks to all ... and may you all have heaps of time on the water.
